Bakhru Krishan Bakhru writes today in American Chronicle that "the three most commonly used herbal remedies are chamomile, which is botanically known as Matricaria recutita. Peppermint which is also botanically known as Mentha piperita and Ginger that is botanically known as Zingiber officinale."These herbs fall into a category known as carminatives. All three herbs can help relieve indigestion and ease irritation that occurs in the intestines.
Chamomile is known for its calming effects. High in calcium, it can help ease esophageal irritation and help with proper digestion.
Ginger aids in digestion, and also has anti-inflammatory as well as anti-nausea properties.
Peppermint is also thought to have healing properties against indigestion, and can help calm the stomach.
All three herbs contain natural digestive enzymes to assist in proper digestion of food.
